“Less than one minute into the game, Hugo Gonzalez crashed the offensive glass, beat three Bucks players to the ball, and drew a foul on Myles Turner. “That’s when everyone should have known what was about to happen.” Film of Hugo’s big night for BSJ: www.bostonsportsjournal.com/2026/03/03/s...

Neemias Queta dominated on Sunday night. But how? What actually happened? “It’s so much easier for me right now.” The 76ers decided to pressure the Celtics’ stars. Queta made them pay. Film breakdown and more for BSJ: www.bostonsportsjournal.com/2026/03/02/s...

Standing ovation for Neemias Queta as he subs out. This TD Garden crowd knows good hoops when they see it.

Celtics hyping up Neemias Queta right now. He’s having the game of his life. 16 pts, 10 rebs, 2 ast, 1 stl, 1 blk And he’s only played 13:42 so far.

Awesome Neemias Queta game so far. He and Derrick White in the PnR have breathed life into this Celtics offense.

Baylor Scheierman upgraded to available for Celtics vs. 76ers tonight, per PR.

Vince Carter and Celtics coach Steve Tchiengang just took on Celtics coaches Nana Foulland and Da’Sean Butler in a shooting competition Around the world. Five threes. Foulland and Butler one by a split second

The Celtics’ offense was a well-oiled machine against the Nets, and Nikola Vucevic was the cog that made it run. How did Boston piece together one of the greatest offensive performances in NBA history? A film breakdown for BSJ: www.bostonsportsjournal.com/2026/02/28/s...

Big round of applause for Nikola Vucevic from TD Garden 28 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists

How did the Celtics lose to the Nuggets on Wednesday? What happened? And why did the national media perceive the game completely wrong? That, game clips, and more thoughts here for BSJ: www.bostonsportsjournal.com/2026/02/26/s...

David Adelman on the Celtics’ defense: “…their set defense, which I think is very underrated. set defense, which I think is very underrated. A lot of offensive minded guys have had good seasons defensively for them.”

Jayson Tatum is the only player on the injury report for the Celtics for tonight’s game vs. the Nuggets, per PR.

Baylor Scheierman and Ron Harper Jr. both played 30+ minutes against the Suns. But what made them so impactful? What did that impact look like? That, Spain PnR, and more here for BSJ: www.bostonsportsjournal.com/2026/02/25/s...

The Suns just tried to blast sound effects to drown out the 'Let's Go Celtics' chants here in Phoenix. (It didn't work very well.)

Those two Neemias Queta misses brought the Celtics to 5-of-16 on second-chance opportunities tonight. Great job hustling for rebounds. Not great at converting.

Celtics have been spamming Spain PnR tonight. It's the only thing that's worked consistently against this Suns defense.

Celtics can't make a shot right now. Process has been great. Defense has been great. Just need the ball to go in the basket.

NEW FEATURE: How did the Celtics become what they are today? What really happened? They studied. An endless devotion to being the smarter team, highlighted by a one-of-a-kind film session back in December. An exclusive behind-the-scenes story for BSJ: www.bostonsportsjournal.com/2026/02/16/t...

The Celtics were 28th in defensive rebounding percentage at the start of the season. In February, they’re first. Worst to first in a matter of months. How did they do it? What did they change? The how and why here for BSJ: www.bostonsportsjournal.com/2026/02/24/w...

Jaylen Brown is questionable to play tomorrow in Phoenix due to a right knee contusion, per Celtics PR.

It was Pat Riley’s night in LA. But Payton Pritchard didn’t get that memo. Or more accurately, he didn’t care. LA was home to the Pritchard show, and the Lakers were mere spectators. That, Luka’s defense, and more for BSJ: www.bostonsportsjournal.com/2026/02/23/s...

It’s always the same questions: “When are you coming back?” “Do you have a date yet?” Jayson Tatum doesn’t know. If he does, he doesn’t want to share. And that’s his right. He spoke in Santa Monica. That and more thoughts here for BSJ: www.bostonsportsjournal.com/2026/02/21/j...

Joe Mazzulla on Al Horford: "At the end of the day, just grateful that I got to coach him, but more grateful- He's obviously, to me, a Hall-of-Famer, and he's one of the guys when I first got the job that he had my back. And I think that says a lot about who he is as a veteran."

The Celtics’ film obsession starts with the coaching staff. A well-oiled machine. “It's not really on them. It's more on me and the staff to remind them of that,” Mazzulla said. The film room, and the staff, has lifted Boston to where it is today.

Every NBA team does film. They all have scouting reports. But not like the Celtics. They dive deeper than most players can imagine.

The Celtics' one-of-a-kind film session in December may have been unique, but it reflects how they've run things behind the scenes. Coaches don't yell, scream, and give out orders. Film is a conversation. And it's made players much more eager to learn.

Amazing article!!!! The level of detail the Celtics have is insane 🤯

Great article. This is a lockerroom full of guys who love basketball.

Seriously every please read this! It’s an incredible article and one of the best testaments to why Mazzulla deserves COTY:

The phrase ‘Celtics University’ has been thrown around a lot this season. But what is it? This is the full story of how it works, why it works, and how it’s helped Boston remain a powerhouse in the East.

Nikola Vucevic did a little bit of everything for the Celtics last night. And it's no coincidence that he's improving rapidly in their system. “He worked his ass off from an individual film standpoint.” That and more here for BSJ: bostonsportsjournal.com/2026/02/12/s...

“It’s the same values that I kind of try to carry with me, whether it's playing Pop-a-Shot with kids, or guarding the best player on defense.” Jordan Walsh helped the CommUNITY Crew, presented by TD, unveil a new room at the Yawkey Club. For BSJ: www.bostonsportsjournal.com/2026/02/11/j...

“I'm feeling good... Today is 39 weeks, so it's been a long journey, and it's just like the progression of rehab... Doesn't mean that I'm coming back or not." Jayson Tatum spoke to the media for the first time in 134 days. Here's what he said: bostonsportsjournal.com/2026/02/10/j...

Jayson Tatum is here

Jayson Tatum is going to practice with the Maine Celtics. Then what? Thoughts for BSJ: www.bostonsportsjournal.com/2026/02/09/r...

Jayson Tatum is going to practice with the Maine Celtics at the Auerbach Center tomorrow, per Celtics PR. Hugo Gonzalez and Amari Williams will join him on assignment.

The Celtics are now 7-2 when playing on the same day as a Patriots Super Bowl appearance. The only other loss? 2015. That night, the Pats beat the Seahawks in the Super Bowl. That potential trend may be the only positive from Sunday vs. the Knicks: bostonsportsjournal.com/2026/02/08/s...

OG Anunoby is out today. Karl-Anthony Towns and Josh Hart are available, per Mike Brown.

Joe Mazzulla, who has spoken with Mike Vrabel in the past, on the preparation for NBA playoff series vs. NFL playoff games: "How can you just put your players in the best possible position to be successful on and off the floor?"

Joe Mazzulla: "You can only be as dumb as your opponent lets you."

NEW: Payton Pritchard wanted all the smoke in the third quarter. And he fed off TD Garden’s energy. “Just being a competitor… I knew the crowd would get into it.” More from Pritchard, plus Vooch’s mismatches, DWhite’s defense, and more for BSJ: www.bostonsportsjournal.com/2026/02/07/n...

"Win or lose, these Celtics are going to leave every ounce of blood, sweat, and tears on the hardwood. And that's an easy team to root for." Game story here: www.bostonsportsjournal.com/2026/02/06/b...

Tonight will be the third-straight game Nikola Vucevic has played against the Miami Heat. (Technically fourth, but he didn't play in one of Chicago's three straight games against Miami.)
